Anyone else feel like she doesn't really feel like a mean girl? First of all her clothing, which has already been discussed here.
Gameplay wise, she plays more like a final girl to me..I've been more often the last survivor with her than I've been with Jenny, hell they could as well have added "Tina" instead. What do you think?

This. I picked another Jason but spawned as part 2 (apparently due to a new bug), and got really bullied by the two of them. Part 4 at least has destruction and weapon strength.
I used to main part 2 before the October patch (aka all the Jason nerfs/counselor buffs), but have barely touched him ever since.

No...but I have a feeling that the legendary version has been intended as a punishment, with its increased repair speed..ya know, for all high luck/low repair counselors who tank the trap and try to repair the part.

Imo Fox is really underrated. I value her strength since she is the only counselor who can demask AND wear the sweater. She can also do repairs when necessary, her stamina/speed are OK...thanks to her above average conposure, her stamina doesn't recharge too slowly, and the mini-map stays for a while.
To compensate for her low luck and improve her combat potential, I use thick skinned, man at arms and sucker punch. My favourite weapon for her is definitely the axe due to its stun potential AND damage, which synergize well with the perks.
I can adapt my playstyle depending on what the others are doing, get the sweater, and/or demask, or repair, or protect the others, which I feel is good for quick play.
So what do you guys use on her?
Tl;dr: Fox can do many things AND can get the sweater, which imo makes her outclass Adam/Shelley/Kenny.

Depends on the counselor and map. With A.J. (or high stealth characters in general) on Packanack, I usually go to the main lodge and try to survive the timer...leave all doors open, hide in a room; once Jason comes in, stun him, close door behind him, rinse and repeat..he often wastes time destroying closets and searching for you because he won't see your noise pings.
With other counselors that have higher speed/stamina or lower stealth, I try to juke him from cabin to cabin.

So this is a topic for fans of BOTH F13 and Dbd...NOT a discussion about which game is better!
I'd just like to talk about which counselor compares to which survivor in terms of traits, playstyle etc., since I'm a huge fan of both games.
Of course there are no stats in dbd, but we can make assumptions about the survivors based on their unique perks and character description.
I'll give it a try:
- Meg = Vanessa (runner, athletic person), more so Tiffany (stealthy runmer, see Quick and Quiet)
- Jake seems to have that tough "bad boy" personality = Adam; both have technical skills (Jake = Sabo, Adam can repair); though Jake can also be played stealthily. Adam has also fighting potential so he may resemble David King (who occasionaly gets caught up in brawls)?
- Nea = A.J. (focus on stealth, punk/emo style)
- Laurie = Jenny (final girl trope, also Jenny's last name)
The others I find much harder to pin down...
- Dwight can be either the nerd who has bad luck (LaChappa), the nerdy teamplayer (Deb) or the coward who constantly is scared and has that facial expression (Chad, also both are meme lords)
- Ace can compare to Chad because of their luck, but then they have a different personality - Chad comes from a wealthy background while Ace likes to gamble and cheat
- Bill is a war vet which means he has to have some strength = Bugzy; he can also protect others (borrowed time), though his strength and speed/stamina is questionable because of his age
- Claudette's perks are centered around healing so idk, though she is somewhat described as nerdy and can be stealthy, so maybe Deb?
What do you guys think? I do know that they are different games and that many characters can be unique, but since the horror genre often depicts stereotypes, I just like to think about the similarities.

Oh boy, not that guide again First of all, this needs an update. Secondly, it is kind of biased in that it mostly takes into account TEAM-oriented counselor play (which he has stated himself), which realistically is rarely the case.
So while A.J. or all-rounders like Adam/Kenny might be trash according to him, they can still be a decent choice in quick play/as a lone wolf.
An experienced Vanessa is obviously strong and coordinated team of them nearly invincible, but I'm just not sure whether she is beginner-friendly.

From the 4 counselors that are unlocked from the beginning, who do you think are the most beginner-friendly?
I'd lean towards Kenny or Jenny; Kenny because of his 5 in every stat and Jenny because she isn't detected too early, giving the player more time to explore (though I'd still prefer A.J. for this, but level 4 fortunately isn't too high).
Chad and Vanessa are probably the more difficult choices because the player still has to become familiar with stamina/fear management and the combat mechanics.
What do you think?

It's funny how more A.J.s seem to have returned just after the update I've also been playing her more often now and she seems to be a decent choice in quick play.
Some days ago, on Packanack Small, most counselors (including a bunch of Vanessas) died very early and I was the last remaining. By that time, I had fixed the whole car and run to the other side of the map to pick up dropped keys all by myself.
When Jason found me, I still managed to juke and run for several minutes. I eventually got killed but it was a good chase, what I'm trying to say is that the slow repair characters can still perform pretty well on small maps.
Meanwhile, all those Vanessa mains run around like fools, not knowing what to do - or not caring at all (there seems to be an increase in trolls again). Edit: Not only mains, but probably also noobs since she is unlocked from the beginning.
